I just joined too, and I'm glad to have company. I came from a Harley Road King Classic. The constant evolution of buying expensive parts for the road king wore me out...ahem and my finances. I still have a soft spot and probably always will have for Harleys. Theses Concours are awesome machines for the open road! Anyway...welcome and happy trails!

I have done it a few times. The first time I was dragging a guy on BMW HP and I was so amazed by how fast it got to redline that I checked the speedo without even thinking. Others times I have seen it under more "sensible" conditions.

Don't know why mine is different? Maybe because I ride mostly at 7,500 to 10,000 feet?
